COVID-19 is not going away soon or ever

[Jillie Norman 39]

Apparently, WHO claims that COVID-19 is not going away soon or ever and that we should start to accept and embrace lie with the fact that it's just out there, just like a regular flu. What are your plans if this is really the case. Would you still allow your kids to go to school or home school will be permanent for most? What could be the changes we're expecting?

Not like a regular flu at all. They want masks and distancing to be permanent. None of that happened for regular flu or any other diseases, far as I know.

I'm happy to go back to life as pre corona and take my chances, even though I'm over 70 and not particularly healthy.

eventually, everyone will copy sweden and move on

as it was a year ago, but its bitter and humiliating

for politicians around the world to admit they committed high treason on their own country, so its going to take quite some time yet

Not to mention that they have destroyed their countries' already fragile economies, that will need years to recover, if ever...

I live in Laos.  Life returned to normal many months ago, because we've not had a single Covid death in the country and only 20 cases - now all recovered.

 

No rules now to wear masks etc, but many people (including myself) put on a mask before entering a shop or when in close contact with others. (I consider it worthwhile to minimise the spread of any airborne pathogen). The main downside to this pandemic has been the loss of foreign tourists in my town, which has led to the closure of many businesses. 

 

It's still difficult to enter/leave the country.  I hope that when (if?) tourists return to Laos, that we do not have any new outbreaks of this disease.

No. Not permanent. You're making that up. Another year or two is not permanent.

By the end of 2021 we will be rid of the madness.

 

After full scale vaccination even the most fearful panic mongers will not succeed in convincing the majority of overblown and unnecessary measures.

The range of diverse replies to this topic is emblematic of our lack of true knowledge about

covid-19. It is less to do with how or where (or even why) it originated, but how best to deal with it. Valid communication on the subject is sparse, and the media has done its best to sow panic and confusion, the so-called FUD!

 

Unfortunately, politicians and scientists appear to have no better idea than the general public on how to cope with it. Does the answer lie in masks and social-distancing, or herd immunity, or all of the above? Personally, I have no idea, but, seemingly, nor do our leaders!

 

 I have read that the DNA of covid-19 is 78% the same as its predecessor, yet a vaccine remains elusive. And just how bad are the number of deaths from the Chinese virus compared with those from annual flu; a good answer to this question is likewise elusive.

 

As to influenza, seemingly, during the present virus pandemic, flu transmission numbers have dropped to almost un-measurable proportions.  It is counter-intuitive, to say the least. And why should this be?

 

Has the cost of lockdown been worthwhile, in terms of the deleterious effect on world populations? Has the global helicopter-money printing had the desired effect, or have the trillions of dollars involved simply been thrown down the drain?

 

There are more questions than answers to the damage the China virus (if not the origin of covid-19, then certainly the egregious spreaders of it) has done to us all, in one way or another.

Certainly not thrown down the drain!

 

Those who have collected the lion share of this money printing eruption have done quite well, thank you very much...to the tune of hundreds of billions added to their already extravagant fortunes.

 

Now they are fervently expecting another serving...

More pertinently, it demonstrates the complete lack of knowledge of anything at all by typical TV posters (like me ).

Should it be proven, as is asserted by many authorities on virus manipulation, that this is indeed a lab-manufactured entity, the creator should be slapped with criminal charges and locked away in some place where they can never repeat such crimes against humanity. Following the money trail it looks like it could be a mistake to blame China alone.

I understand what you said but don't see how it makes a rat'ร ลรร at this point.

We were saying earlier that it would all be over by now. And a very large number of people, many millions, say they will not take the vaccine. So, the result of that might well mean we will have to live like this for many years to come. Not good, is it. A totally new way of life for the entire planet.

Get ready for the sheeple brigade to come at you with everything they have... 

Ready and waiting. The problem is the sheeple have no capacity to analyse, rationalise or question any of the garbage their governments and the MSM feed them.
